What we found
Update cadence is slipping
Needs workLast updated 8 months ago. Freshness is one of the strongest directory-ranking signals.
What to do: Get back on a visible release cadence, even minor releases.
Rating below category benchmark
Needs workYour rating, weighted for review count, is 3.3★ and trails the Search average of 3.8★.
What to do: Close the gap with targeted UX fixes and review recovery.
Review volume is thin
OpportunityOnly 14 ratings. A handful of reviews makes your star average fragile and weakens trust at install time.
What to do: Run a structured in-plugin review prompt and a review campaign.
Readme fails 2 of 8 AI readiness checks
OpportunityAI assistants recommend what they can quote. Failing: names who it is for and headings and lists. One audience phrase ("use case"); say who the plugin is for and what they use it for.
What to do: Rewrite the readme so each failed check passes: say the job in the first line, answer real questions in the FAQ, name who it is for and what it works with, and use headings and lists. For the same check on your plugin's own website, run the free AI visibility scan from AgentVania.
